Walking is great. It's easy on the knees and you don't need anything special except for a good pair of walking shoes. Plus you can walk all over like at malls. And now that summer is on its way you can always go out and walk with friends or alone. The weather is nice so we might as well take advantage of it.

I love walking! I want to get a tredmill for indoors during winter and when the weather is bad. We try to walk every evening. My husband and I pack up our daughter and go walk down to the mailbox and then walk a few blocks. We make it a family outting when the weather is nice. During the weekends we try to go downtown and walk along the river front, hit the nature trails and other areas that are fun to walk.Sometimes you forget your actually excersing.

My husband and I enjoy getting out and walking about a mile a day. We like to take different routes in the neighborhood and see who is planting something new this time of year or who is getting a new roof or coat of paint on their house.

I saw on my local news the other day a new type of walking its called...Mall Walking!!

A group of people get together and walk through a huge shopping centre as their daily exercise. The best thing about it is that it can be done in all weathers, and is an opportunity to meet new people.

So if you have allergies or hate the rain like me, it could be a good alternative. But if you are good at spending money, perhaps the temptation could be a little too much!!!

I think they are a tad behind on this.Our local mall has done that for years. They open at like 6 am but the stores don't open intil at least 8-830...or very few do. I don't consider the mall super big that does it but you can walk it a few times and still get a good walk in. I've went with my pap a few times when he didn't make it to the gym in the morning.Man elderly people go and they really enjoy it.

walking is an excellent workout, almost anyone can do it and doesn't require equipment. have any of you tried to make your walking more effective by adding hand weights to get your upper body more involved and make you burn more calories?
